Another missed opportunity to combine his Warner and BNA sides. These are all re-recordings.

Stand by Her: A Breast Cancer Guide for Men
$18.95
As a woman who has had breast cancer, I have glanced through this book to see what kind of advice it offers men for helping women through it. One thing that really stuck out to me is that the author is apparently under the misimpression that if a woman goes five years without a recurrence of breast cancer, she is "officially cured" and it's time to celebrate. This is a really dangerous belief to perpetuate, and may devastate women who have recurrences after they thought they were "out of the woods." The sad fact is that there is no such thing as a breast cancer "cure," and that unlike many other cancers for which five years is the "all clear" point, there is never such a point for breast cancer. It can recur at any time, but based on the particular type, it may be more or less likely to recur. This book shouldn't be spreading the myth of "five years out and you're cured"; it's very irresponsible.

Less importantly but still significant, there's also no acknowledgment in this book that women with breast cancer each feel differently about the "pinkapalooza" that is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Men should see how the woman in their lives feels about it before bombarding her with pink-ribbon junk, because some of us just HATE it--the pink products, the tchotchkes, the charity races, the whole thing. In fact, for some of us, just getting through the month of October, faced with reminders of our ordeal at every turn, is painful.

Men who are supporting a woman with breast cancer need to remember first that she's still an individual and an adult, and will remain so. She doesn't automatically transform into a helpless child who needs comforting from little pink teddy bears. Show her first that you don't think of her as infantile just because of her disease, and that it's not her breasts you value as much as you value HER, and you won't go wrong.
